User:Edgarito Vaskrishenov/Ancient Armenian pagan religion

The ancient Armenian religion was formulated on the basis of the religious understandings of the Armenian tribes in the Middle East, bearing the significant influence of the latter. If in the previous period (6th-4th centuries) the Armenian religion was still dominated by ecological-cosmogonic ideas and the traces of the local deities of the first tribes that became part of the Armenians were still in it, now it has finally formed the human-like deities belonging to the whole Armenian people, a system united not only by common kinship, under the leadership of God the Father, but also by diocesan principles, in which each god or goddess was assigned a specific place, a role that was more general, often abstract, and included not only natural phenomena; other areas of public relations.

The system of Armenian deities or the pantheon consisted of many deities who had connections and parallels in the Asia Minor-Iranian environment.
